Kurt, my father, has had dogs his entire life, but really what he would call his best friends throughout his years. He grew up with responsibilities of raising dogs, taking care of them and playing with them. Even though he had many siblings, most of the "family" dogs were really my father's. I still remember the name of his Airedale terrier, Scottie, which he had as a kid, because he still brings Scottie up to ...

Kurt, my father, has had dogs his entire life, but really what he would call his best friends throughout his years. He grew up with responsibilities of raising dogs, taking care of them and playing with them. Even though he had many siblings, most of the "family" dogs were really my father's. I still remember the name of his Airedale terrier, Scottie, which he had as a kid, because he still brings Scottie up to this day! And I'm 28 years old, for the record!

My mom and dad have also had many dogs throughout their marriage, pre-children (myself and two older sisters), as well as our current dog Bentley, who we have had for 14 years. My parents have always enjoyed the company, companionship and responsibility that you get from a pup.

Bentley is truly the definition of man's best friend. He LOVES my father, almost as much as he loves food. Bentley is a beagle, boxer mix, so he loves his treats. But there is nothing quite as fun to watch than my dad returning home from the day away or the week, and seeing Bentley light up. He runs to the door, cries, licks my dad and can return to a happy state again. When my dad is gone, Bentley sulks and becomes sad; even if it is a trip to the grocery store!

Kurt wrestles with Bentley, plays with him and takes him on long weeks (several miles each day, especially when bentley was young). My dad loves to exercise, loves the outdoors and therefore has always enjoyed his long walks with the dog, often with my mom.

Kurt will be an excellent dog sitter, because he loves to see dogs happy, loves to take them outdoors and loves to play with them. He is respectful to dogs, but does know how to ensure their loyalty and obedience. He will keep them safe, happy and well fed!

Just ask my dog Bentley!

I have almost always owned a dog from the time I was a little lad. My children grew up with and will become future dog owners (cats too), as we realize the loyalty, friendship, and sense of security from having them in our lives.

I have an easy going manner, and just moving into slowing down from all my work travel, and so is my dog and wife. I would love to put your trust ...

I have almost always owned a dog from the time I was a little lad. My children grew up with and will become future dog owners (cats too), as we realize the loyalty, friendship, and sense of security from having them in our lives.

I have an easy going manner, and just moving into slowing down from all my work travel, and so is my dog and wife. I would love to put your trust in me to ease your mind, as we also have spent many days away from our pets, and trusted them in capable hands.

I am always on time (early as my wife says), dependable, and very capable of taking care of others family pets. They bring much joy to our lives.
